Many secondary and developing nations had much unemployment that cuased rebellions. Slightly industrialized nations were in support for revolutionary parties. There was a great feeling of interconnectedness among nations in the 20th century that cuased the feeling of unwanted wars. Raw materials and manpower could nopt be drawn from colonies or neutral states. During this time there was a rise in intellectual thought. In the 19th century there were theorists of communism. There were wants for utopia and good peasant life from Mexico to China. Lastly the revolutions understood the terms of Western infleunce and to reassure a great national autonomy.
In Mexico, President Porfirio Diaz stayed in office for thirty years.

Revolution in Russia p681-685 Liberalism to Communism: Main Idea: There was an Frebuary revolution for the change of liberal provisional government to rule the country. Then there was a second revolution that led to the rulings of the Communistic party led by Lenin. He faced many immediate problems leading to Lenin dictorship control. This produced backlash and many internal civil wars.
In March 1917, there were riots in Russia's capital, St. Peterburg for more food and also a new political regime. It mostly was due to wartime causes. The workers took control of the city governments overtaking the the tsars. There was a want for early conditions of industrialization since it was against incomplete rural reform and unresponsive political system. (Frebuary Revolution)
There was a struggle for eight months for liberal provisional government to rule the country. Russian revoltionary leaders like Alexander Kerensky wanted to see true parliamentary rule, religious and other freedons, and many political and legal changes. It took a very long time such liberations/revolutionary thoughts were not rooted into Russia. There was much social unrest from war efforts and massive land reforms and unwanted social changes that it caused a second revolution in October. This revolution was lead by the Bolshevik the Social Democratic party, later the Communist party lead by Lenin.
Lenin gained a strong position quickly among the urban worker's council in major cities with a tight organization. (Against the thought of mass action)
Lenin and the Bolsheviks faced much immediate problems when the liberals were toppled. They signed a humiliating peace treaty with Germany about land. Russia losed land and new nation-states were formed. (Versaillers). In time this treaty helped to moivate the idea for expansion vital for Lenin's consolidation of power.
The communist party had a majority ruling, but were not the most popular revolutionary party. The October revolution led the Lenin's creation of the Council of People's Comminssars to draw soviets al over the nation. In a parliamentary election, there was majority for Social Revoulyionary party emphasizing peasant support and rural reforms. Lenin became mad and shut the party down and they were replaced by the Bolsheviks from this time to 1989. (No western-style muplti-party)

In 1921, Lenin wanted to fix the economical state by issueing the New Economic Policy, which comprised the freedom actions of small business owners and peasant landowners. The state continued to have economical policies, but efforts were combined with individual iniatative. The policy helped food production recover and a more durable regime.
The Bolshevik revolution was finished by 1923. There was a new capital, Moscow, a new constitution based on the federal system of socialist republics, Union of Soviet Socialist Rupublics.
The ethics of Russian were perserved in the central state while certians groups like Jews had little representation. New nationalities policy were mixed based on the seperate republics.
The central state's apparutus was a mixture of appearance and reality, like the Supreme Soviets. They elected by unverisal suffrage and they had trappings of parliament. The communist easily controlled the body since they had did not allow for competion for positions. There were parallel systems of central bureaucracy and party bureaucracy. Later on the Communists quickle reestablished an authoritarian system.
Soviet Experimentation: Main Idea: In the mid-1920s the Soviets were highly experimental and lively encouraging subsidiary organization. Also during this time, they dealt with defining issues leading to the leadership of Stalin. He had thoughts of strong nationalism.
In the mid-1920s, the Soviets were highly lively and experimental because they had a feeling of being the nation with top power.

The government prompted a rapid spread of education (Literary) and educational and propaganda activites.The new educational system reshaped popular culture towards belief of Communiost political analysis and science. With new ideas came controversy.
The Soviets dealt with other definitional issues in the 1920s.There was much rivalry between the leaders/ When Lenin died in 1924, it created an unexpected leadership gap. Many lieutenants jostled for power like Trosky and Stalin. After a few years Stalin became the undisputed leader.
Stalin represented a version of communism that was strong in nationalism. Lenin believed that Communist would sweep through the Western industrial world. Many revolutionary leaders encouraged the set up of cominterns, Communist International office. Stalin believed in first building "socialism in one country". (Anti-Western). Rival leaders were expelled and killed and rival visions were downplayed.

Stalinism in the Soviet Union p698-703
Stalinism in the Soviet Union: Main Idea: The Soviets had a different kind of economical system. Stalin wanted to make the Soivet Union better.
The Soviet Union had a different economy so it was buffered from the Depression. Soviets leaders made the nation's ongoing industrial growth. In the 1930s, the system was tightened by Stalin.
Stalin devoted himself to make the Soviet Union a full industrial society by full control of the state instead of private and personal iniatatives.
He led the nation from a more experiemental mood of the 1920s to having tolerance for small private businesses and wealthly peasant farmers.
Stalin wanted modernization insisting on Soviet control and endeavors.
Economical Policies: Main Idea:Stalin had problems in his approach to agriculture but was sucessful in the industry.
In 1928, a massive program began to collectivize agriculture (the creation of large, state-run farms). Peasants were pressed into joining these holdings. The collectivizes movements allowed for a further chance to merchanize agriculture since farms could group scarce equipment. Collectivization allow for more efficeint control of peasants, showing the reluctance of the government to allow peasants to leave their own devices. Government and part control was wanted since Stalin hoped for a speedup of industrialization, its resources would be taken from peasnats, through taxation to provide capital for industry.
The peasantry had mixed review for collectivization. Many laborers resented the kulak wealth and first welcome the chance to have a more direct access to land. Most kulaks refused to cooperate voluntarily with collectivization.
Several famines resulted from Stalins onward pushes. In the early 1930s many kulaks were killed or deported to Siberia. Rural resistance collapsed and production was restored and increased. Stalin's increasing authoritarian hold lasted for a generation or two.
Many peasants were unmovitated. Collective farms did allow for job security, peasnats small plotsand proagandaizing, it seated a factorylike atomosphere with rigid planning and disipline. The controllized planning process allowed for few incentives for special efforts and complications to a smooth flow from supplies and equipment. Agriculture production was a weakness in Soviet economy and it was a demading higher percentage for labor force.
Collective farms allowed for normally adequete, but minimal food supplies and freed excess workers tp channel into the ranks of urban labor. In the 1920s and 1930s saw a massive flow of unskilled worrkers to the city.
He created a five-year plans under the state planning commission that allowed for clear priorities for industrial development. The government constructed massive factories of metallurgy, mining, and electrics to make the Soviet Union industrialized and independent. (Great resources)
Stalin sought to create a alternative to the private ownership of business ownership, so he relied on formal, centralized resources allocated to distribute equipment and supplies. This led to wasters in individual factories. During the first two five-year plans to 1937, the Soviets machinery and metal productions grew to 14-fold.
Toward an Industrial Society: Main Idea: The Industrialization process was similiar to that of the West and workers were given liberities.
The industrialization process of the Soviet Union produced many results similar to take of the West. People were increasingly crowding cities. Factory disciplines were strict and incentives were used to motivate workers for higher productivity levels. The communist policy created a network of welfare servoces. Workers had a meeting houses and recreational programs.
Thought Soviet industry was directed by the government, the trade union movements was controlled by the working party were concerns were studied and problems addressed. Stalin saw the importance of maintaining worker support.
Totalitarian Rule: Main Idea: Stalin created new controls for intellectual life, intensified government policies, and weakened foreign policies.

Socialist realism was the dominant school that emphasized on heric idealization of workers, soldiers, and peasants.
Sciences were also controlled, Stalin did not allow for free scientific inquiries. Many scientist faced governmental persecution.
Stalin created a new intensification of government policies for his industrialization program. He used party and state apparatos to monopolize power. Any opponents/ hundreds of people were executed and sent to Siberian labor camps. News outlets were controlled by the state and there was a secret police.
Party congresses and meetings of the executives commiittee, or Politburo became useless.
Stalin's purges weakened the nation's ability to respond to foreign policy problems. The Soviets had modest diplomatic initiatives, reestablishing relations with major nations. The Soviets encouraged internal Communist party activites in many other countries.
There was threats towards communisms from other nations like Germany and Hilter. They tried to gained allies with other nations in World War II, but with no sucess, they allied with the Germans.

It increased in power With this, they wanted the ability to confront communists and warloards. This cuased 90% of the peasant popultation to starve to death after exploitation and neglect. The government ignored crises of disease and famine in the rural poor regimes.
Mao and the Peasant Option Main Idea: Chiang slowly tried to gain power and Mao solidifed his communist power. When threatren by the Japanese, they allie together.
Being a committed revolutionary, Mao understood the importance of peasant support.
When Sun died in 1925 Chiang Kai-shek replaced him. Kai-shek had Western approval and quickly turned against the Communists. It became the most brutal in Shanghai.
He would defeat one warlord at a time to take of the region and become the head warlord.
He wanted to get support from the US and Europe. They would want to support him to stop communism.
On the Long March, Mao led his 90,000 supporters to regroup and travel thousands of miles northwest in 1934. This solidifed his power over the communist.
The Japanese became more of a threat at this time to China as a whole. The Nationalists allied with the Communist to fight off the invaders.
Mao’s China and Beyond823-830 Main Idea: The communist won the long civil war in the 1949. Mao tried to recover the economics and society of China.
In the 1930s, the sucesses of Kai-shek was interrupted by Japanese invaders.

The Communist were strengthed by the the war. Guomindang defeated by the Japanese when they waged conventional warfare. In the Japanese invasion, they took the coastal areas like th e Guomindangs banks and businesses. From the Japanese the Japanese looked very bad and were forced to retreat and ask the US and landlords for help.
The Communist wanted to extended their control over North China, so they fought geurrilla campaigns. Mao gained an advantage with the use of propaganda. The Guomindang moved from Formosa to Taiwan.
The intellectuals and students changed and soon gave there loyality to Communism.
After the war with the Japanese, China was defeated, the civil was renewed.
By the 1945, Mao had the majority of the power and they thus proving to be victorious in 1949 when they won the civil revolution. He proclaimed the land/establishment as the People's Rupublic of China in Beijing.

With a long struggle, the Communist had a strong military and political organization, rooted in the party cadres and the People's Liberation Army. Military officials came to power and the army was subordinate to the party. The Cadre advisors dominated monmilitary personnel.
The Communist reasserted Chinese regional preeminence with their strength.
Secessionist movements were supressed in Inner Mongolia and Tibet. In the Korean War, the intervening China preserved the division of Korea in the 1950s.
From time to time, they threatren to invade the Guomindang refuges in Taiwaan. They also supported the Vietnamese liberation movements.
The Chinese were closely cooperative with the Soviet until the mid 1950s, when it died. There were many border disputes since China wanted to resize lands previous from the Qin dynsty. He had arguments wuth post-Stalin leadership since he considered himself as the leader of the communist world.
In a brief border war, India was defeated by the Chinese and nuclear dicives were exploded during the early 1960s.
Planning for Economic Growth and Social Justice Main Idea: There were many methods for attempts to began industrialization, until the Mass line was ultimately to collective protection.
Their was much vigor in the government activity to complete social revolutions in rural areas, but it proved to be less sucessful.
Landlords were dispossessed and 3 million were executed. Their lands were redistributed to the peasants nations of peasant smallholders.
It efforts to began industrialization, there first five-year plan was put into place in 1953. It drew resources and money from the countryside for support. There were sucesses in heavy industry, when state plans were more centralized and the class of urban technocrats were priviledged.
He greatly disapprovement of elitism and the revolutionary ideas of Lenin towards elitism. He distrusted intellectuals. For the force of revolution, he clung to the faith of his peasants, so he turned to other methods.
In the 1955, the Mass Line approach led of argricultural cooperative formations. 90% of the Chinese peasants were in collective farming. The bulk of Chinese production came for the the collective farming of 1955. Peasant had no ownship of their lands since land was turned over to the state.
The intellectuals were removed in 1957 when they were asked for their opinions of government policies in "Let a hundred flower bloom".
The Great Leap Backward Main Idea: Mao created the Great Leap Forward to its mass and rural bases, but it was not so sucessful and Mao losted his position as State Chariman, Pragmatist pushed for state direction.
The Great Leap Forward was started in 1958 to revitalize the revolution by restoring its mass and rural base.
Industrial was forced on the farms that the factories. The program used communes for extra resources for builing tractors, cements for irrigation. Backyad furnances made steel without machines. Lives aspects were regulated on communes. Mao beleaving this was good did not create a bureacracy.
Economical disasters were caused when small-scale industrialization was aimed to create self-relaint peasnat communes. Peasants were against collectivization, commune leaders, abd backyard factories. There were bad droughts. China started to resort to imports of grain.
During the 1980's, China experienced a terrible famine, worsen by a growing population and state rejecting family planning. From this, the government introduced birth control to slow doqn the population increase.
The Great Lead ended by the 1960s and Mao losted his positions as State Chairman, but he continued to be the head of the Central Committee.
Pragmatists like Shuo Enlai, Lui Shaoqui, and Deng Xiaoping pushed for policies to restore the state's direction and have local level market incentives.
"Women Hold up Half of the Heavens" Main Idea: Communist party gave women more rights and opportunities than the Guomindang did. Tradition attitudes of women lowered their rights.
Assisted by his wife Jiang Qing (Prominent role), Mao was determined to give liberation to Chinese women.
It was a revolutionary strategy to involve women, tradition with the Taiping and Boxer rebellion. May Foruth intellectual sought for the rights of women to not have footbinding, have education, and more carrer opportunities.
Many women supported the Communists when the the gains of women were reversed by the efforts of the Guomindang early in the revolution. They wanted to returnt o traditional China. Kai-Shek's wife said its immoral to criticze a husband and virtue is more important that learning.
Women worked in many Communistic occupations. When the Communist won, women received legal equality.
Women were expected to work outside of the home and they wee also given more freedom in selecting a marriage partner.
Professional and educational oppprtunities improved for women. They could be a teacher, nurse, and laborers, even a soldier and cadre leaders.
Men still had continued to have traditional attitudes towards women and caused them to work both in and out if the home. Males remained dominate in upper-party levels.
Mao"s Last Campaign and the Fall of the Gang of Four Main Idea: Mao had one last attempt to regained control and luanched the Cultural Revolution. The Gang of Four was established and rivals of Mao. There were many achievements and failures of the communist regime.
Mao thought he had enough support to overthrows his pragmatist rivals and tried to regain control. He pushed for student, peasant, and military support.
He launched the Cultural Revolution to be able to attack or kill hos opponents or force them into rural labor. Zhou Enlai was secluded, Lui Shaoqui was killed, and Deng Xiaoping imprisoned. Centralized states were taken over by people as the nations was entering chaos.
The stability of revolution was ar risk from the destruction of centralized state and technocratic elites.
Mao terminated the campaign in 1968 and the military brought the Red Guard, student brigade back to line.
Mao continued to struggle with his rivals when there reinstated and formed the Gang of Four in 1973. The gang was led by Jiang Qing slowing pushing back. They had increasing power (the pragmatists and the ideologoues)
When Shuo Enlai and Mao died in 1976, they wre clear for open sucession struggle. The Gang of Four was imprisoned for life when the pragmastists won. The pragmatist opened China to Western influences and capitalist development, not political reforms. There was an encouragement in private peasant production and communes were ended.
The Communist had many achievements with the manage redistribution of Chinese wealth since their rise to power.
The people of china have a better living standards that those of previous regimes. Their conditions are superior to people of developing nations.
The agricultural and industrial growth rates of China has surpassed those of India"s. The regime created better education, health care, housing, working conditions, and food.
There were failures towards the regime, economical setbacks, political turmoil, and low political reform levels. There was a continuous challenge in growth/ living conditions.
6. Read and take brief notes on Democratic Protest and Repression in China 848-849 – Answer the questions at the end of the document (5 points)
There were student protests in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989 angry at the more open, democratic systems. Many people died and crushed furture movements. China continued its authoritarian policies and rapid economic change. The leader of communist party offical, Li Peng gives a speech about standard governmnet claims about the nature or protest. He calls the government to resolve/ restore normal order in society and ensure programs towards socialist modernization. He sees the situation in the square has been grimming with more and more students involved in the demostrations. This has a caused a worsen government, image, and normal life. He feels the hungry strikes are only damaging to the person doing it. The government helps these people and listens to their opinions. He feels that the government has to do something soon to stop it or there will be national turmoil. The situation affects other cities and communication has been interepted. He sees that the protesters are good people who want to see a dramtic change for such like democracy. He appraises the government to being so tolerant and loving towards the masses and dissproves of the people who twists the words of the government, posioning the crowds. He belives that the actions of his party will be approved from all people.
Li Peng does not want want much a change in the politics/ government of China that the protesters wanted. They wanted a more liberal and and open policy fot programs of socialist moderization. Instead of telling people he will change in the beginning of the passage, he makes the decisions to "convene a mettting here of cadres from party, government, and army organs.. to mobilize this emergency" which is to call for the army to move
Li Peng wants the protestors to known that they are making China have a worser reputation for he sees the "more and more students. Involved in demonstrations" cuase "party and governmnet leading organs,, rapidly deteriorating... greatly damaging China's international image and prestige" and what they are doing/ their protest are not helping. It will only be worsen for " various forms of demonstrations... eill not be beneficial to solving the problem."
Li Peng being the priemer of China did not want to take the protesters , so he of course appraise the protesters. He calles the " young students as kindhearted, who do not want to cuase turmoil and that they have fervent patriotic spirit, wishing to push forwards reform, develop democracy, and overcome corruption." He also calls the protestors as their " own children and the future of China. They do not want to hurt these good people."
People in communism are classless/ equalized, he speaks of all the people and he hopes the "actions have the support of all members ol the broad masses" and also "responsible to our sacred motherland and all people must adopt firm and resolute measures". He often talks about the protestors as being a groups of different groups of people like students.
Communism and democracy is vastly different. Democracy for equal opportunities and say and communism have people that are borned into any social class/ equal classes. It does not really give its citizens the opportunties to develop and such. Communism has also dictorial leaderships and he sees that the furture if China " built by ,any revoluyion martyrs (protestors) with their blood, are facing a serious threat" these people are given the chance to influence the government and they are just often seen bad people.

Read pages 636 - 643.Take notes as you read. Each blue heading should have a main idea and important details. Triggers For Change: Main Idea: There was a major loss in European power and more colonies were able to form nations. There was massive urbanization along with the population growth. There was new technology in communication, transportation, and military weapons.
The European's dominance crashed with World War I and the destruction led to an acceleration in the worlds economic depression and then World War II. During this time there were many European Civil wars causing massive loss of economic, demographic and political vitality. It became impossible to claim to exclusive economic dominance, much less to overseas empires.
The political order of the 19th century crumbled, the add to the growing strength and effectiveness of anti-colonial nationalisms. The Western military supremacy was shaken and new challenges arose. A large number of former colonies were able to develop sufficient military arsenals to prevent outside intervention.
The Cold war was first the rivalry between the United States and Soviet Union providing a political, economic, and policy framework. In the end, the United States emerged the sole superpower but unlikely to provide a durable pattern.
There were new methods of transportation and communication that had the capacity to move people, goods, and ideas worldwide. Radio, satellite transmission, and the Internet greatly shrunk the world. Military life was redefined by new technology. Beyond World War I, the destructive power of warfare grew steadily, boundaries blurred between military personnel and civilians and wars were able to kill more people. By World War II millions of people could died from purges and genocides.
There was a tremendous population growth that caused new public health measures in the beginning of the 19th century.There was also an improvement in food supply to kept pace, though some regions experience devastating famines. Population growth was accompanied by massive urbanization, often the advancement of industrial growth and new patterns of urban poverty.
This period is characterized by disaster, inevitably leading to exhaustion of resources, battles for space, and pollution.
The Big Change: Main Idea: There was much political change.Cultural forces encouraged new secular loyalties. There is more globalization of cultural and rights. There are negative results to the environment.
Political innovation was needed with the revolution in some countries and decolonization. In the 29th century there were possibilities; wider use of some sort of democracy; totalitarian governments like communist or fascist; or new forms of authoritarianism like one-party ruler. Aristocracy no longer served as a primary source, political change was a dominant process.
Many parts of the world made up systemic efforts to improve their position in the world economy with greater political independence and new political regimes. Few regions like Japan and pacific Rim joined western Europe and US as advanced industrial society at the top of world economics. More societies won some part of world economy. Some took advantage of new control over vital global resources like oil. Some focused on replacing excessive reliance on the economic leaders with local manufacturing called import substitution. Other began to develop modern export sectors. From 1970s and onwards, china became a global manufacturing engine. India enhanced exports and became the center of outsourcing services. Brazil became the world's fourth largest computer exporter. (A widespread of modern manufacturing advancement.)
Three cultural forces encouraged new secular loyalties. People became more nationalistic and Marxism in the 20th century. The west and Japan led consumer values and a faith in century. The cold war challenged it. In the 29th and 21 th century people changed and modified their believes. Major religions were still powerful, there was missionary activities in Africa and elsewhere. In societies like Middle East, India and the US were was a real contest for cultural preferences.
There was cultural debates and political and economic changes often involving gender. There important movements towards increases in education, new legal rights, and a stronger voice for women. This led to a decline in birth rates. In some societies women lost economic ground, men taking more profitable jobs.
There new/ more globalization that occurred in the second half of the 20th century but then receded. The Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and authoritarian Japan, China in the 1960s and US partially, during its two decades of isolationism, they pulled out of international economics. Major societies shifted position in the decades after World War II. Japan, Germany, and US became active global players.There was a massive network of international nongovernmental organization (such as human rights) emerging from 1970s onwards. There was intensive global cultural change, so there was new immigrations of various people to the United States.
Multinational corporation led to recurrent pollution crises like oil spills and chemical disasters. Air pollution that caused acid rain and smoke. Scientistsworry about global warming, but policymakers struggle to find global response.
Cold war/ bipolariness idea in the world. The end is the fall of the Soviet Union, 9/11.
World War I main causes by Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, Nationalism_Balkans/Slavs.
Continuity: Main Idea: Many regions continued to product low-costing raw materials and foods and were unequally treated. Many regions also resisted cultural change often mixing there culture to new ones, larger orientations derived from traditions, disciplining changes to prevent a change.
A number of regions continued to focus on low-cost production of raw materials and foods.Many societies maintained older economic and social forms like parts of Latin America, southeast Asia, Africa, and India. Many economic inequalities had worsened by the early 21st century regional and among them, and most of these gaps reflected older historical patterns. Many societies resisted to change over redefinition gender relations (Middle East and Africa). There was a resistance to increasing inroads of consumer culture.
Many regions attempted to discipline change by combining it with older traditions, the effort to use a new and popular aspect of global consumerism to revive regional traditions. Globalization didn't entirely override continuity or opposition in the name of continuity.
Many societies retained larger orientations derived from their traditions. The United States continued to be extremely suspicious of participating in international agreement in the early 21th century. China remained order and conformity. Russian returned to greater authoritarianism in the early 21th century.
Impact on Daily Life: Emotions and Behaviors Main Idea: Emotions and behaviors reflected individuals personalities or cultures. Emotional and behavioral implication were changed by Demographic changes. worldwide emotions and behaviors were not homogenized.
In the 20th and 21st century, many emotional and behavioral formulations reflected individual personality or particular cultures. Some continued to characterize specific civilization. Mediterranean maintained traditions of angry responses to offenses.
In many societies, efforts to destroy social inequality involved attempts to reverse emotional passivity. Communist upheavals in China, it told peasants to cast off traditional reluctance to show anger. This was similar to the Civil rights leaders of the United States.
Demographic changes had emotional and behavioral implications. Families had emotional attachment to individual children when birth rates dramatically lowered. Death of a children usually caused divorce in the 20th century American family. By the 1990s Chinese educators focused intensively on the faith ob a single child.
The spread of global consumerism affected some behaviors. McDonald'sand flight attendants embrace the cheerful attitude. Many consumer pitches played up and down emotions, China showed this.
Emotions and behaviors were not homogenized worldwide. older distinctions remained; new trends often contradicted each other: there were big differences. There were some wider patterns, various behavioral rulers depended in their setting and became fluent in global manners and habits of particular societies.
Analyze the three maps on page 637. What can they tell us about this stage of world history - explain in detail
The Great Western Empire: (Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain), Austrian-Hungarian and parts of Russian empires were imploded by the end of the century. IN the 29th century many new nations arose.These massive boundary changes were relative to other upheavals. In much of the nations of 1914, the typical system, was wither a monarchy or empire. By the early 21st century, almost every country had a different type of government from the century. Some societies had multiple kinds of government. In the 1914 the typical social system was dominated by landed aristocracy or an aristocratic and big business blend. In the beginning of the of the 21st century, landed aristocracy were dramatically gone, displaced by revolution or the rise of industry, New nations had a parallel in new politic systems and new social structures. In the late 20th and early 21th century, it saw the rise of nation-state. With multinational corporations like European Union, it possessed far greater power. In 2000 they had 500-9500 multinational corporations. Places that were more industrialized like nations in North American, Australia, and Japan had more . places that were less industrialize had no patented multinational corporation. (Russia was so huge it probability did multinational corporation)

There have been no major successful revolution in the 20th century like in the 18th and 19th century. In the modern era, there have been a rise in peasant population. State froms increased taxed to peasants. The Rise of revolutions were disrupted from the Industrial Revolution spread and a western centered global market. Many secondary and developing nations had much unemployment that cuased rebellions. Slightly industrialized nations were in support for revolutionary parties. There was a great feeling of interconnectedness among nations in the 20th century that cuased the feeling of unwanted wars. Raw materials and manpower could nopt be drawn from colonies or neutral states. During this time there was a rise in intellectual thought. In the 19th century there were theorists of communism. There were wants for utopia and good peasant life from Mexico to China. Lastly the revolutions understood the terms of Western infleunce and to reassure a great national autonomy.
In Mexico, President Porfirio Diaz stayed in office for thirty years. The majority of power was given to a select few. injustice was in cities and countryside alike and wealth was only in a few people. He often exploitated and treated the workers very poor. The entire nation was stirred up after the interview Creelman. He was the only one to really control the land.Their industrial revolution brought newer and better milling machines, more crops like rice. The hacienda owners wanted to peasants to sell their land and they tricked and such to get the peasants of there land. In China, the collapse of the Manchu dynasty increased internal disorder and had pressure from foreign governments.
In the early 20th century there were a group of young leaders that wanted to participate in political life. Francisco I. Madero along with young reformers created the "Anti-reeleccionista" Party to represent the subsequent president elections, they sought for democracy. Madero gain the help of Pascual Orozco and Francisco "Pancho" Villa, there peasant uprisings. In the Russian Revolution, there was a series of violent demonstrations and riots in Pertrograd from the peasants mad at the foods rising prices. The October Revolution was lead by the Bolshevik to became the dictors of the proletariat. There was nationalists like Sun Zhong Shan challenged the growing communist movements. During World War II, various Chinese political groups pooled military resources.
In Russia there were two major revolutions comprared to the China and Mexico. In all revolutions there were volient states of riots and wars. In the Mexican revolution the peasants from for democracy and such laws but in China and Russia the people fought against democracy and for communists. The revolution in Mexico and Russia, the fighters for the revolution gained power like Madero and the Bolshevik. The revolution caused a change but the China, it remained the same. In Russia and Mexico, the peasants led the revolution.

Stalinism in the Soviet Union:
Main Idea: The Soviets had a different kind of economical system. Stalin wanted to make the Soivet Union better.
Economical Policies:
Main Idea: Stalin had problems in his approach to agriculture but was sucessful in the industry.
- In 1928, a massive program began to collectivize agriculture (the creation of large, state-run farms). Peasants were pressed into joining these holdings. The collectivizes movements allowed for a further chance to merchanize agriculture since farms could group scarce equipment. Collectivization allow for more efficeint control of peasants, showing the reluctance of the government to allow peasants to leave their own devices. Government and part control was wanted since Stalin hoped for a speedup of industrialization, its resources would be taken from peasnats, through taxation to provide capital for industry.
- The peasantry had mixed review for collectivization. Many laborers resented the kulak wealth and first welcome the chance to have a more direct access to land. Most kulaks refused to cooperate voluntarily with collectivization.
- Several famines resulted from Stalins onward pushes. In the early 1930s many kulaks were killed or deported to Siberia. Rural resistance collapsed and production was restored and increased. Stalin's increasing authoritarian hold lasted for a generation or two.
- Many peasants were unmovitated. Collective farms did allow for job security, peasnats small plotsand proagandaizing, it seated a factorylike atomosphere with rigid planning and disipline. The controllized planning process allowed for few incentives for special efforts and complications to a smooth flow from supplies and equipment. Agriculture production was a weakness in Soviet economy and it was a demading higher percentage for labor force.
- Collective farms allowed for normally adequete, but minimal food supplies and freed excess workers tp channel into the ranks of urban labor. In the 1920s and 1930s saw a massive flow of unskilled worrkers to the city.
- He created a five-year plans under the state planning commission that allowed for clear priorities for industrial development. The government constructed massive factories of metallurgy, mining, and electrics to make the Soviet Union industrialized and independent. (Great resources)
- Stalin sought to create a alternative to the private ownership of business ownership, so he relied on formal, centralized resources allocated to distribute equipment and supplies. This led to wasters in individual factories. During the first two five-year plans to 1937, the Soviets machinery and metal productions grew to 14-fold.

6. Read and take brief notes on Democratic Protest and Repression in China 848-849 – Answer the questions at the end of the document (5 points)
There were student protests in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989 angry at the more open, democratic systems. Many people died and crushed furture movements. China continued its authoritarian policies and rapid economic change. The leader of communist party offical, Li Peng gives a speech about standard governmnet claims about the nature or protest. He calls the government to resolve/ restore normal order in society and ensure programs towards socialist modernization. He sees the situation in the square has been grimming with more and more students involved in the demostrations. This has a caused a worsen government, image, and normal life. He feels the hungry strikes are only damaging to the person doing it. The government helps these people and listens to their opinions. He feels that the government has to do something soon to stop it or there will be national turmoil. The situation affects other cities and communication has been interepted. He sees that the protesters are good people who want to see a dramtic change for such like democracy. He appraises the government to being so tolerant and loving towards the masses and dissproves of the people who twists the words of the government, posioning the crowds. He belives that the actions of his party will be approved from all people.
Li Peng does not want want much a change in the politics/ government of China that the protesters wanted. They wanted a more liberal and and open policy fot programs of socialist moderization. Instead of telling people he will change in the beginning of the passage, he makes the decisions to "convene a mettting here of cadres from party, government, and army organs.. to mobilize this emergency" which is to call for the army to move
Li Peng wants the protestors to known that they are making China have a worser reputation for he sees the "more and more students. Involved in demonstrations" cuase "party and governmnet leading organs,, rapidly deteriorating... greatly damaging China's international image and prestige" and what they are doing/ their protest are not helping. It will only be worsen for " various forms of demonstrations... eill not be beneficial to solving the problem."
Li Peng being the priemer of China did not want to take the protesters , so he of course appraise the protesters. He calles the " young students as kindhearted, who do not want to cuase turmoil and that they have fervent patriotic spirit, wishing to push forwards reform, develop democracy, and overcome corruption." He also calls the protestors as their " own children and the future of China. They do not want to hurt these good people."
People in communism are classless/ equalized, he speaks of all the people and he hopes the "actions have the support of all members ol the broad masses" and also "responsible to our sacred motherland and all people must adopt firm and resolute measures". He often talks about the protestors as being a groups of different groups of people like students.
Communism and democracy is vastly different. Democracy for equal opportunities and say and communism have people that are borned into any social class/ equal classes. It does not really give its citizens the opportunties to develop and such. Communism has also dictorial leaderships and he sees that the furture if China " built by ,any revoluyion martyrs (protestors) with their blood, are facing a serious threat" these people are given the chance to influence the government and they are just often seen bad people.
